    Sounds a beautiful crafty day.

    I don't know if this would work but what about taping or writing down your thoughts straight afterwards. Then you could listen or read back if you have a bad day.

    Take care honey

    Ohhh CL, I'm away for just ver a week to come back to hear of your mystery man. Hope it works out the way you want with a meal, flowers and friendship;) for you. Exciting :D

    Hope your tooth has settled and I think your craft day sounds amazing. I used to get together with friends at each other's homes but it dwindled off....might just need to reinstate it.

    You had the best weather that we've had for ages yesterday, I'm so pleased that you got to enjoy it up here. It was lovely doing my run and dog walking next to the river in the warmth - the fells look like they're starting to go green again.
    We went to the Taste cumbria event today - I thought about you as I think you'd really have enjoyed it - lots of lovely food producers and not all of them ridiculously expensive. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside with buns full of cumberland sausage and as DH drove I even had a gorgeous cocktail from my friend's horsebox cocktail bar. And I have delicious smoked trout pate, local cheese and some very decadent looking brownies to look forward to. Lovely.

    Oh Joeyjimbles what a treat the day was , the walk just made it so much better . I was in Grange over sands for our craft get together. I saw the taste Cumbria event advertisied , the food sounded amazing.

    What a beautiful day yesterday . Arrived in the lakes at 8.45am , to a warm welcome welcome from friends.

    We crafted till lunch time , three of us decided to do a walk . The views were amazing , this is why I love the lakes . Nature all coming out to say hello , as the sun shone .

    We did 5 miles altogether there and back , with an ice cream thrown in the middle. Back to crafting for a couple more hours .

    I arrived home about 8.00 pm , shattered , but very happy . There is a magic feeling that I come back with, wish I could bottle it.

    Back to today , need to do all cleaning, shopping , washing and ironing. Hair is getting done later as well .

    Payday Wednesday , my pay rise has given me an extra £35 a month.

    That sounds like a perfect day Cumbria :).

    Had a £10 from PA cash out so that will go off the CC.

    Personal trainer put me through my paces Monday and tonight , really enjoyed it and learnt a lot.

    Had 30 mins outside after work. Have taken my curtains down tonight and washed two lots . My mum is drying them on her line tomorrow.
